In August, Hangzhou was a city of flowing gold.
It had just rained, and the sky was clear again. Under the scorching sun, the water vapor on the ground rose, bringing with it a humid and sultry feeling. It also gave people a feeling that the surrounding scene was not real.
Although the weather was not so pleasant, there were still a lot of people on the shore of West Lake at noon.
As one of the Seven Ancient Capitals, Hangzhou is also one of the most famous tourist attractions in China. The number of tourists received every year is more than 70 million. Especially during holidays, all the scenic spots are simply packed.
Crowdedness and beauty were Lu Chen's deepest impression of his hometown provincial capital.
And here, he also had countless good memories.
However, returning to Hangzhou again after more than a month, Lu Chen unexpectedly had a strange feeling.
Fortunately, he still remembered the way to the restaurant, otherwise he would have embarrassed himself in front of several friends.
After passing through the long alley, an antique mansion appeared in front of him. It had white walls, green tiles, and green trees. The red lacquered door was wide open, and four red lanterns hung under the eaves. There were four words written in black on a white background on each of them.
Egret Restaurant.
There was a pair of couplets pasted on the left and right pillars in front of the door: Two orioles singing on the green willow/A group of egrets flying in the blue sky.
"Brother Lu Chen, is this a restaurant?"
Mu Xiaochu looked around curiously, and her dark eyes were full of surprise.
It was no wonder that she was surprised, because it didn't look like a restaurant at all, but rather a garden house of an ancient gentry. The people coming and going exuded the atmosphere of a scholarly family.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "This was originally the residence of a Jinshi, and it has been changed into a restaurant for many years."
Egret Restaurant is a century-old restaurant, featuring local Hangzhou cuisine and has many branches in Hangzhou.
But the most authentic one is the Egret Restaurant on the edge of West Lake, where the chef is a top chef.
If he came here temporarily, there would definitely be no seat. Lu Chen happened to have a VIP membership card of Egret Restaurant, so he could book a box seat in advance.
It was his first time to eat at Egret Restaurant since his family had an accident.
In addition to Mu Xiaochu, there were also Li Feiyu and two members of "Singing China" tour team.
Zhang Junhua and Lin Lang.
ZhangJunhua is two years older than Lu Chen and graduated from the Department of Modern Music of Beiyin College. In the Top 10 of the Beijing Singing Area, he once topped the overall score with an original song, "Love Ocean", and was later surpassed by Lu Chen.
Even so, Zhang Junhua was also a very talented young singer. It was said that he had already signed a contract with an entertainment company.
Lin Lang is a contestant in Shengjing Singing Area. In the first competition, he defeated Zuo Qiuqing and joined the tour team.
Lin Lang was the same age as Mu Xiaochu, and was also a university student. He had a lively and active personality, and was good at singing and dancing. He also had his own original works, so he was quite popular in the team.
In the "Singing China" national tour competition, the first top 10 in Beijing came out. After the first stop in Shengjing, the second stop in Shanghai and the third stop in Hangzhou, there were only three people left, Lu Chen, Zhang Junhua and Mu Xiaochu.
The top 10 in each singing area were not weak, so the competition seemed very cruel!
After the competition in Hangzhou singing area last night, today the program team and the tour team will stay here for another day, and then set off for the next stop, Tianfu, tomorrow.
Therefore, as a native of this province, Lu Chen naturally wanted to do his duty as a host and invited Zhang Junhua and Mu Xiaochu out to play.
After three competitions, the three people have become familiar with each other and can be regarded as ordinary friends.
Li Feiyu has always followed Lu Chen as an assistant.
As for Lin Lang, this guy was very familiar with people, and he seemed to like Mu Xiaochu a little, so he also followed.
Lu Chen didn't care. Anyway, it was just an extra pair of chopsticks.
After showing their VIP gold card to the waiter of the restaurant, the five people quickly came to the reserved box.
The box was a small wing room with a completely antique decoration. It was very elegant. When they opened the window, they could see the green bamboo forest and the pond outside. The cool breeze was blowing, and it was not hot at all.
"Brother Chen, this place is really good!"
Lin Lang exclaimed, "Did you come here often before? It must be very expensive, right? "
Today, it was said that Lu Chen would treat them, but no one expected that he would bring everyone to such a place.
Lin Lang was still young, so he felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I've been here twice before. The membership card was given by others. The consumption here is actually not expensive."
Although Egret Restaurant is a century-old restaurant, its consumption level has always been very high. As long as it doesn't order big dishes, even ordinary working-class people have no pressure to eat a meal, so its business is extremely hot.
The price of the headquarter by West Lake is a little higher, but it is also within the acceptable range.
The key is that the Hangzhou cuisine here is the most authentic. Since Lu Chen is treating, he naturally wants to let his friends taste the real good.
Lu Chen's VIP card was a small gift from Lu Qingsheng's former friend in the business world.
He once brought his girlfriend to eat several times.
Unfortunately, things have changed now. His father died for some reason, and his girlfriend broke up early.
Only this Egret Restaurant has not changed.
With a trace of sadness in his heart, Lu Chen called the waiter to order.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Li Feiyu took out the digital camera and turned it on. First, he pointed the camera at Lu Chen.
Li Feiyu followed Lu Chen all the way as an assistant. His main task was to record and broadcast Lu Chen's tournament tour experience to hundreds of thousands of fans in [Whale TV].
For fans, this is undoubtedly a very new thing. Every night, there are as many as 500,000 + viewers waiting in front of the computer for the broadcast, so that Lu Chen can still earn a lot of tips in the process of going out to compete.
In fact, it is also possible to do a live broadcast with a mobile phone outdoors, but in order to ensure the quality of the content, Li Feiyu is basically recorded during the day, and then simply edited it with software when he goes back.
If he has time, Lu Chen will broadcast it himself. If he has to compete, Li Feiyu will replace him in the live broadcast.
Through such interaction and communication, the number of fans is increasing, and Lu Jiajun is growing.
These enthusiastic and lovely fans are undoubtedly one of the important foundations for Lu Chen to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry!
Therefore, apart from the contract, Lu Chen will not easily give up the work of online live broadcasting.
He is also constantly exploring better ways of live interaction.
Li Feiyu, who was holding the camera, said with a smile, "This is a rare opportunity. Da Chen, you say hello to everyone first, and then I will film a few future big star friends!"
Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Hello everyone, I am your anchor, Lu Chen. We are now at the Egret Restaurant on the shore of West Lake in Hangzhou. We are inviting three friends of the tour team to dinner."
"This is Little Sister Xiaochu, whom everyone likes!"
The camera immediately pointed at Mu Xiaochu, who smiled shyly and waved: "Hello everyone."
Today, Mu Xiaochu wore a plain white short skirt, like a small white flower, with a soft beauty.
Lu Chen has a good impression of this shy junior sister, but it is not the feelings between men and women, but the kind of care that a brother has for his sister, so he often takes care of her along the way.
He filmed Mu Xiaochu, then Zhang Junhua and Lin Lang, both of whom also gave him face.
After Li Feiyu finished filming, Lin Lang asked curiously, "Brother Chen, are you filming for publicity?"
Lu Chen explained, "No, it is for others to watch at night. Do you know about online anchors?"
Mu Xiaochu, Zhang Junhua and Lin Lang nodded at the same time.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I am a contracted online anchor, so what I am filming now is considered material."
This is not a secret, so there is nothing to hide.
Lin Lang opened his eyes in surprise: "Brother Chen, I thought you signed with a big company! How did you think of doing this? Is it very profitable to be an anchor? "
Although he did not mean it, when he talked about online anchors, his tone was still a little unpleasant.
Zhang Junhua also showed a disapproving look.
Online anchors are a new profession in the last two years. Because of the low threshold and fierce competition, there has been a lot of negative news in the industry, such as female anchors selling their bodies and breasts, and unscrupulously fighting for a position.
The corresponding media reports are often biased, so people can't help but have a bad impression of this industry.
Neither of them expected that Lu Chen's current profession was actually a grassroots network anchor. With his strength and talent, he could totally sign a contract with a big company. There was no need for him to condescend to such a level.
Lu Chen saw both of their expressions and smiled: "I am an independent artist, and I do not plan to sign with an entertainment agency. In fact, being an online anchor is very interesting. It is nothing more than playing, singing, joking and performing. I can make a lot of friends."
"If there is a chance, you can also try it."
Lu Chen has no intention of reversing the prejudice between the two, because there are some bad phenomena in online live broadcasting.
It is enough that he has a clear conscience.
Zhang Junhua couldn't help but say: "How much money can you make? I heard it is quite boasting. "
In fact, this person has always been a little unconvinced by Lu Chen.
So he took the opportunity to tease him.
Lu Chen said lightly: "There must be some exaggeration in the publicity outside. For someone like me, with a fixed salary and a share of tips, I probably only make about a million yuan a year."
He still underestimated.
Clatter!
The chopsticks in Lin Lang's hand fell on the table, and Zhang Junhua's expression suddenly froze.
A million yuan? Only a million yuan?
Is this for real?
Mu Xiaochu was in awe: "Brother Lu Chen, you are really amazing!"
This sentence sounds very ambiguous!
Lu Chen coughed and said: "The dishes are coming up. Everyone, get ready to eat. Fill your stomachs first!"
The world is big, but eating is the most important.
It was just that someone suddenly seemed to have lost his appetite.
Then Lu Chen did not care.
